Chapter 28 Confucianism twenty-seventh

At the beginning of Emperor Taizong's practice, he set up a Hongwen Museum on the left side of the main hall, selected scholars from all over the world, ordered him to be an official and a bachelor, gave five-grade precious meals, and stayed straight for a day, so that he could be introduced into the inner hall during the gap between listening to the court and discussing the tomb. Dian, business strategy and political affairs, or at night.He also ordered the descendants of Xunxian and above three grades to be students of Hongwen. In the second year of Zhenguan, the Duke of Zhou was ordered to be the sage, and the temple of Confucius was established in the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The old classics were Ji-style, with Zhongni as the sage and Yan Zi as the teacher.At the age of the year, Confucian scholars from all over the world were recruited, and they were given silk to pass on, and they were ordered to be masters in the capital.Students who have mastered a major classics or above are salty officials.More than 400 additional school buildings were built for Guoxue. Guozi, Taixue, Simen, and Guangwen also added students. Doctors and students were assigned to their books and calculations to prepare for all kinds of skills.Taizong also counted the honors of Chinese studies, and ordered the sacrificial wine, the secretary's career, and the doctor's lectures.Confucian scholars from all over the world came here with their books in their hands, numbering in the thousands.

In Russia, Tubo, Gaochang, Gaoli, Silla and other barbarian chiefs also sent their children to invite them to study. Therefore, within the national studies, there are tens of thousands of people who give lectures in drum boxes, and the prosperity of Confucianism has never been seen in ancient times. The fourteenth year of Zhenguan said: "Liang Huangkan, Chu Zhongdu, Zhou Xiong Ansheng, Shen Zhong, Chen Shenwen'a, Zhou Hongzheng, Zhang Xie, Sui Hetuo, Liu Xuan, all famous Confucianists in the previous generation, and their classics can be disciplined. , do more of their lectures, and it is better to give rewards to persuade future generations, who can visit their descendants and see them, and record their names and hear about them." In the 21st year, the imperial edict said: "Zuo Qiuming, Bu Zixia, Gongyang Gao, Gu Liang Chi, Fu Sheng, Gao Tangsheng, Dai Sheng, Mao Chang, Kong Anguo, Liu Xiang, Zheng Zhong, Du Zichun, Ma Rong, Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Fu Qian, He Xiu, Wang Su, Wang Bi, Du Yu, Fan Ning, etc. Twenty-one people, and use their books, hang down in the state, since they practice their way, it is reasonable to praise them. From now on, if they have something to do with Taixue, they can also enjoy the temple of their nuns." He respects Confucianism and respects Taoism.

In the second year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong said to his courtiers: "The key to government is to win people. If you don't use your talents, it will be difficult to govern. Today's appointments must be based on virtue and knowledge." Advising the doctor Wang Gui said: " If a minister has no education and cannot know what to say and act on it, how can he be worthy of great responsibility? During the reign of Emperor Zhaodi of the Han Dynasty, someone falsely called him Prince Wei. Tens of thousands of people gathered to watch, and everyone was confused.Juan does not doubt the matter of Kuai Kui.Emperor Zhao said: "Ministers of public affairs should use scriptures to understand ancient righteousness. This is definitely not comparable to ordinary officials with swords and pens." '" Shang said: "Believe in what you say. "

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong used the scriptures to go to the holy Jiuyuan, and the writing was wrong. Yan Shigu, the servant of Zhongshu before the imperial edict, examined and approved the Five Classics in the secretary province.After the completion of the work, the left servant of the Fuzhao Shangshu Shefang Xuanling gathered all the Confucians to discuss it in detail.At that time, the teachers of Confucianism said that it has been wrong for a long time, and they are all wrong, and heresies are emerging.However, Shigu often cited ancient editions since the Jin and Song Dynasties, followed by Fang's answer, and the references were detailed, all of which were intended, and all Confucians were amazed.Emperor Taizong called the good ones for a long time, bestowed 500 horses of silk, and granted him a regular attendant on horseback riding straight through the sky, and issued his decree to the world, so that scholars can learn from it.Taizong also wrote the Five Classics and Shuyi, with 180 volumes, called "Five Classics and Righteousness", and put them into practice by Guoxue.

Taizong tasted that Zhongshu ordered Cen Wenwen to say: "Although my wife is endowed with deterministic nature, she must be erudite in order to achieve her way. It is also like a mirage containing water, waiting for the moonlight to sink; , to become beautiful after learning. It is Su Qin who stabs the stock, and Dong Sheng hangs the curtain. If you are not diligent in Taoism, your name will not be established. "The text said: "Madam's nature is similar, but the emotion is transferred. You must learn to control the emotion to form the nature." "Li" says: "Jade cannot be crafted without being cut, and people will not know without learning." 'So the ancients were diligent in learning, which is called Yide. "
